Hi... I used this forum extensively while applying for our TRVs to Canada. We all applied at different times as we had no plans of travelling together so here it goes:

Sep, 2013: Me and my wife ( She is a US Citizen) wanted to Visit Victoria. I needed a visa at that time (Although i was in Washington but I had not received my green card at that time). So I applied online and got Passport Request the same evening. I sent my passport along with a return Envelope from USPS and exactly the 10th day I had my stamped passport with a 8 year Multiple TRV in hand. I got it stamped from LA Consulate although my sticker says "Issued at: New Delhi"

December, 2013: My mother and younger brother were in US because we were expecting our first child. Applied for them online, Got passport request within 3 hours (UNBELIEVABLE but true) and sent the passports to LA the same evening. Received them Back on exactly the 12th day. Both Stamped till 1 week before passport expiry.

June, 2014: Applied for my DAD Online in India. Got passport request the next morning ( within 11-12 Hours max). Submitted Passport at VFS Chandigarh (UT/Punjab, India) and received the Stamped passport within 5 working days.

Our Background:
I'm a doctor. My passport's almost full with US, UK, European and SE Asian Visas and Stamps.

My parents are both Professors in Govt. Colleges.

My Brother is a student.

All of us had good travel history incl. 10 Y Multiple Visas and travel to USA.

Thanks.

PS: Kindly don't get discouraged with posts telling that it took 2 months to get a visa. If you have a good profile, yur visa should not take more than 10 days. Also now the canadian Embassy only issues Multiple visas and fee is fixed at CAD 100.

I agree but you didn't tell the timeline it took in getting 1st visa stamp on your pp.
Must be more then couple of hrs right?

It's easy after that for everyone. my us visa got approved in 45 mins just to let you know and I has stamped passport in 7 days.
